It is my great pleasure to invite all the Southwest NH Fire Departments to participate in the City of Fitchburg Ma. annual 4th of July Parade. We will be holding our parade on Wednesday July 4th @ 1000 hrs. Line-up is at our Summer St. Station 42 Summer St. Fitchburg Mass. at 0845 hrs. We will have coffee and donuts and a few awards will be handed out. We are looking for Modern Apparatus, Hand-tubs, Antiques and privately owned apparatus as well. We are trying to have a great turnout and hope to see a few towns from Southwest NH attend. If there are any questions please email me at pjr35c6@yahoo.com. Thanks for your time.

On a side note we lead the parade! So in-service companies will not be tied up long. Hope to see you on the 4th.

I am again in need of several thousand feet of used 2-1/2″ and 3″fire hose. If you would please notify the departments in the mutual aid system that there is a market for their old hose, it would be much appreciated. This hose is for construction site use only and not firefighting, and should be capable of withstanding 100 PSI.I may be contacted via e-mail at tmfret@sbcglobal.net , or phone at 860-646-4242.Thank you. Peter Beckwith
